It's Geneva Watch Days and amidst all the new releases, there are some exciting watches up for auction. Two auction results from the previous installment were strong, with a Movado watch going for more than expected and a Patek Nautilus finding a new home. Now, let's dive into this week's picks.
First up is a grail-level Rolex Daytona with a Paul Newman dial. This watch is considered one of the best Paul Newmans ever seen, with a panda Paul Newman reference 6263 that collectors love for its perfect design.
Next, we have a Universal Genève Compur in a Jeanneret case. This watch has a unique look with crisp serifs on the dial and a mix of a sector dial-style inner ring with applied hour markers. The case, manufactured by Henri Jeanneret, is one of the highlights of this timepiece.
Another standout piece is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Triple Calendar. This rare watch features a pink gold case and original dial, making it a true gem for collectors. With its elegant and thin design, it's hard to find another example of this watch on the market.
The last auction item to highlight is a roulette pocket watch from Longines. This interesting timepiece allows users to gamble on the go with its unique ball bearing mechanism. It's a rare find among pocket watches and is definitely a conversation starter.
Additionally, there are a few other watches to mention, such as vintage Heuer and Audemars Piguet watches, as well as a Rolex Oyster Perpetual in exceptional condition.
If you're a watch enthusiast or collector, these auctions are worth checking out. Don't miss your chance to own one of these incredible timepieces.
